Stressful events that seem out of the range of control, or tasks that may be uncomfortable can cause anxiety, sometimes to the level of serious apprehension.
Even symptoms of anguish, pain, chest pain, eating problems, loss of sex drive, and insomnia can manifest.
In some sense, these reactions are normal, as they are a part of the "fight or flight" syndrome that is built into our makeup when our forbearers had to run from the bear.
We face modern day events that are unpleasant in much the same way, so our bodies manifest the same symptoms.
There are simple homeopathic remedies for anxiety and panic attacks that work very well when used as directed.
These helpful aids can sooth the psyche and calm the emotions giving the individual the power to carry on with the day.

Sometimes people take water for granted, so they don't think about drinking water.

Exercise may be the number one treatment for anxiety.
Exercise will burn up stress hormones, helps a person's mental health, and increases circulation and releases energy.

Especially vital is vitamin B1 and vitamin B12.
